My 5th grand uncle went into hospital today.

What in the frickin' world is wrong with the year 2006?! Since January, a total of FOURTEEN of my family and relatives have gotten hospitalised, including yours truly. I didn't walk under a ladder, I broke no mirrors, I don't think any black cats crossed my path. So WHY in the world is everything bad squished and clumped into this year?! And I have no guarantees about the years that are to follow.

And recent X-rays have shown that my mum's knee bones were knocked out of alignment during the impact of the car accident. And a fragment of one of her knee bones got chipped off.

Oh dear wind, please do blow those grey clouds away. And let a ray of light shine through, will you? Just one ray. Just one ray would do.
